Come, Lord Jesus.
O JESUS! at thy feet we wait,
Till thou shalt bid us rise;
Restored to our unsinning state,-
To love’s sweet paradise.
2 Saviour from sin, we thee receive,
From all indwelling sin;
Thy blood, we steadfastly believe,
Shall make us throughly clean.
3 Since thou wouldst have us free from sin
And pure as those above;
Make haste to bring thy nature in,
And perfect us in love
4 The counsel of thy love fulfil:
Come quickly, gracious Lord!
Be it according to thy will,
According to thy word.
5 O that the perfect grace were given,
Thy love diffused abroad:
O that our hearts were all a heaven,
Forever fill’d with God.
Charles Wesley
Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)
